Myles Lewis-Skelly has sent a defiant message to Arsenal fans after their Champions League final loss.

The Gunners enjoyed their Premier League trophy parade on Sunday afternoon as they celebrated on an open-top bus through north London.

Despite the celebrations, the parade was overshadowed by the loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final as Arsenal were denied their first European trophy. 

With the cloud hanging over the club, Lewis-Skelly has sent a clear response to fans and the club’s critics as he looks towards next season. 

"First of all, I'm so proud of the boys. I'm proud of the organization in helping us get here because it hasn't been an easy season. But obviously we've come to the end of the season and we're champions of England.

"It's disappointing because when you're so close to a dream, a goal, you feel slightly short but as Mikel said, it's added fuel to the fire, so we'll use that. I'm going to see my family here as well. It's going to be emotional, so I'm so excited.  

“The last two weeks have been incredible. Just sharing those moments with the team, the people that you love dearly, that you go to war with. It's amazing. For me, (the future) is bright. I feel like it's the start of a new era and I feel like we're ready to go and achieve our dreams.  

“(Arteta) has been so supportive of me over my whole journey, so I'm just so grateful for him and the trust he's given to me. Thank you, and we're not done!" 

For now, the 19 year old will head off to the World Cup with England as he seeks to use the heartbreak of the Champions League to fuel another trophy run.
